Here is a simple out of the pantry last minute but tastey meal.
Ingredients (for one brave taste bud)
- Have some anchovies, tomatoes, rosemary and garlic ready.
- Olive oil, gruyere, parmesan and some kind of pasta. Fettucini or thick spaghettis are my favorite, tagliatelles or whole wheat large pasta are good too.
- Should I really spell how to make a batch of pasta?.… read the back of the package…and make them al dente. always.

Typical meal from the beaches of Marseille, revu and corrected by Momo.
Ingredients
- 1 big yellow onion, chopped finely
- 8 to 10 big tomatoes, peeled and deseeded, and roughtly chopped to dices.
- 1/2 to 1 bottle of dry white wine (Pinot grigio is good). Adding a tad of pastis will make it even more authentic.
- 1 to 2 big red potato per person, sliced thick ( 5mm will do)
- Seafood: includes mussels, clams, shrimps and rock fish. Add or replace with gambas, langoustines, lobster, filet of soles or whatever else you find that is alive and from the sea. Make sure you rinse and scrape the shelfishes so they are clean.
- Spices: lots of garlic, parsey, rosemary, thym, sage, bay leaves, feneil, saffron. Make a bouquet garni.
- Olive Oil
